Debug Touchgfx simulation using Visual Studio: How to add external code?

[GBert.2]

I'm using Visual Studio (TouchGFX/simulator/msvs/Application.sln) to debug my project's simulation.

I want to understand what is causing an exception.

The problem is that the exception is not in the codebase.

See the call stack here

How do I add those external files to the Visual Studio Solution?

Regards,

Gabriel

EDIT:

After further investigation, It appears that the VS solution is not configured to see the Middlewares\ST\touchgfx directory. Could this be the problem?

I think FrontendApplication::handleTickEvent() is called by the TouchGFX engine, which comes as a prebuilt library and links into user code. VS may not be able to see the exact stack trace for functions inside the library.

Humm I think you're right Michael. this seems likely.

I'm not sure if somebody from ST would have a trick to debug the prebuilt library.

The more I see the code, the best I can debug.
